Abstract: For any n-by-n complex matrix T and any

1 l e q s l a n t k l e q s l a n t n

, let

L a m b d a_{k} (T)

the set of all

l a m b d a i n C

such that

P T P = l a m b d a P

for some rank-k orthogonal projection

P

be its higher rank-k numerical range. It is shown that if

is the n-dimensional shift on

C^{n}

then its rank-k numerical range is the circular disc centred in zero and with radius

c o s d f r a c k p i n + 1

if

1 < k l e q s l a n t [f r a c n + 1 2]

and the empty set if

[f r a c n + 1 2] < k l e q s l a n t n

, where

[x]

denote the integer part of

x

. This extends and rafines previous results of U. Haagerup, P. de la Harpe cite{Haagerup} on the classical numerical range of the n-dimensional shift on

C^{n}

. An interesting result for higher rank-

k

numerical range of nilpotent operator is also established.
